4 The Legacy of Ralph Steinman ( ) The Rockefeller University We are deeply saddened by the loss of an exceptional scientist but equally enriched by his outstanding legacy: - A major discovery. A cell with multiple ramifications (from the greek δενδρον or déndron, tree ): The dendritic cell with a key role in the initiation of the immune response. - The inspiration for an entire generation of immunologists spread throughout the world, who are dedicated to the study of functional properties of dendritic cells. Ralph M. Steinman was born in Montreal in 1943 and obtained his B.Sc. from the Department of Biochemistry at McGill University. He received his M.D. from Harvard Medical School in 1968, completed his residency at the Massachusetts General Hospital before joining the laboratory of Zanvil Cohn at Rockefeller University in He was named Henry G. Kunkel Professor, and led the C.H. Browne Center for Immunology and Immune Diseases and the Laboratory of Cellular Physiology and Immunology at Rockefeller University until September Ralph Steinman received many prestigious awards and honors throughout his career: The Gairdner International Award in 2003, followed by the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research in 2007, just to name a few. Ralph Steinman was ultimately awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 2011 for his work on the dendritic cell. Ralph Steinman sadly passed away two days before the official announcement in Stockholm, after a long battle of nearly five years against cancer where he even used his own dendritic cells in his treatment. This passionate scientist with an ardent desire to share was not given the time to show that his dendritic cells could save his life, but left us with the legacy, responsibility and challenge of saving the lives of others.
